Bike Edmonton

Bike Edmonton will be onsite to do safety checks, tune ups, and repairs on Thursday, August 20. First come, first served!

We also now have volunteers that can do some basic service for walkers, rollators, and wheelchairs!

Congratulations to Joanne and Nils, who were the 1999th and 2000th patrons of the Old Strathcona Farmers Market Bike Valet this year! They received $100 in Market bucks as well as a set of lights and Bike Edmonton membership. We are on track to park more than double the number of bikes than we did last year.

We'd like to thank our volunteer team, who staff the bike valet every weekend, as well as Pedego Edmonton and for sponsorship that helped upgrade the fencing.

If you're using the bike valet, please remember that you need to pick up your bike by 3pm.

Via special hamster cargo bike delivery, hamster bells have been restocked! They are hamster approved, even though they are much louder than any hamster you've ever heard.

With this summer's extreme weather, the volunteers building the new Edmonton Bike Park need your help to finish it in time for the planned September 5th grand opening. To learn more, and to sign up to volunteer, head to

Mill Creek flood update:
The north end of the Mill Creek paved shared use path and lower gravel path are still flooded in the areas marked in red. Highlighted routes are suggested detours, depending on whether you are on the east or west side of the ravine.
On the plus side, it looks like Epcor got in and cleared the log jam that dammed the culvert and caused extensive flooding this week.
There is no warning signage in the area. Watch out for barricades while going downhill that will be hard to see in low light conditions.
As the water recedes, slippery silt deposits may remain a hazard. The lower gravel trails are still very muddy.
At least the ducks are enjoying this.

Pictures from Monday afternoon (from the seat of a packraft).
Saturday night's flood in The north end of Mill Creek Ravine was caused by a blockage where Mill Creek is diverted underground. There was still around half a meter of water on the paved path when Monday's torrential rain hit. It caused unprecedented flooding in Mill Creek, Connors road, and beyond as Mill Creek ran overland into the river for the first time in over 50 years. If there is more heavy rain in the area or upstream today, it is likely to flood again.
The Mill Creek trails on the north end and near the creek level will likely be closed for some time for the water to drain and mud to be cleared. For trails that were underwater, damage is likely, as is already evident in the second reel.

The north end of the Mill Creek SUP remains flooded after Saturday's storm with a lot of slippery mud where the water has receded. Some people have been cutting around it, but be prepared for slick mountain bike conditions if you go that way. Otherwise, avoid this area.

Stolen Trailer Alert!
Please keep an eye out for this 8 foot long Bikes at Work trailer that was stolen yesterday afternoon from.in front of Earth's Refillery Co-op. It has "property of EBC" written and engraved on it.

Updated update: The West sidewalk is now open!

High Level Bridge closure update:
Epcor reports that they are close to finishing work on the northwest approach and that the west sidewalk will likely be open sometime in the morning on Thursday July 23rd, after the morning commute.
